Whether you're out to dine or trying to make healthy choices at home, Twofoods is a useful tool. It's simple and easy to use -- just plug in the foods you'd like to compare, and it shows you the calories, carbs, fat, and protein for both.

You get five choices for comparison: Some are generic, others might be chain restaurant menu items or options for the ingredient prepared with fat versus not. It's interesting to pit a Big Mac against a grilled cheese from Au Bon Pain, for example. You might be surprised by which has the highest amount of fat.
